Shevon the battle with determination and the right partner


Perfect pair: Shevon Lai Jemie (left) and Goh Soon Huat taking part in a training session at the Axiata Arena yesterday.

NATIONAL mixed doubles ace Shevon Lai Jemie once harboured thoughts of hanging up her racquet.The 25-year-old had previously paired up with Wong Fai Yin and the late Tan Chee Tean but those partnerships failed to take off until she partnered Goh Soon Huat.

The pair are currently the world No. 9 and the second highest ranked in the country behind Chan Peng Soon-Goh Liu Ying.
